Devil O Devil, could you leave me alone
You've found me in every corner I've known
From barstools to hotels, and back alley deals
To stolen cars, jail bars and state given meals
Devil O Devil, could you please let me be
I never welcomed your company
You bought and you sold me when I wasn't for sale
You promised me heaven and handed me hell
Oh, and the flames keep rising
And I keep falling, deeper in
Oh, and I can hear Momma's crying
But it's too late for whipping, away these sins
Devil O Devil, could you leave me behind
You've hardened my heart, and you've spoiled my mind
You were the poison and you were the spoon
I was the fool passed out in the room
Oh, and the flames keep rising
And I keep falling, deeper in
Oh, and I can hear Momma's crying
But it's too late for whipping, away these sins
Jesus O Jesus, could you please show your face
I feel so lost in this hell of a place
It's just me and the Devil, and I'm waiting for you
While he's smoking old stogies and singing a tune
